Why Can't I Access My Blog?
When I try to publish, or at least the last couple times when I've tried to republish, I get this message:
001 java.io.IOException: EOF while reading from control connection

Ohp, wait. I guess blogger fixed the problem.

Yeah, so it's fixed. So pony up project #3 already. (she said tapping her foot, hands on hips, frown on face....)
(grin)
Did you go to the blogger page? I do recall seeing something about scheduled maintenance and outages somewhere in the last few days.
If it makes you feel any better, you weren't the only one experiencing problems. ((smile)
Yeah, I went to the blogger page. Apparently there were problems, lots of problems.
And sorry. I'm still thinking about #3. I may even go back and change two.
In the meantime:
A candle is a doorway.
Or
A monkey is a thunderstorm.
Or
The pavement wears nylons.
Sorry that's all of got tonight.
Wait.
Maybe one more:
The drawers in my spine open.
I wish I could think like you. The lines you jotted down here, and your projects 1-3 posted above remind me alot alot alot of Dobyns who I love. Dobyns and Ashbery are out there in a place I can't seem to get to in my writing. I just don't think that way and I wish the hell I did.
My writing is too safe, my thought process, creative movement too linear, too boxed in, I think.
I am enjoying tackling these projects though. It's really cut down on the compulsive writing I'd been doing. There were days I was writing 3,4,5 poems and they were all utter crap. Taking a line or a handful of lines one day at a time has, for the most part, eliminated that compulsion. For now, any way.
(smile)
You're way too nice.
I just wish I could start getting some poems to cohere in a way that crackles in a way that enlarges the world.
Do you think I'm too ambitious?
I view this kind of project as helping toward that ambition.
I don't mean to be didactic. Of course, ignore me if this doesn't appeal, but my advice is to keep reading Dobyns and Lux and Ashbery and Dean Young James Galvin's first and last books and well, you know, it soaks in, colors the water of what comes out.
You know, uh, was it Kooser in his Repair Manual says poets should read at least four or five times as many poems as they write.
Also, try doing that scaffolding exercise from the Practice of Poetry. You know the one where you put a poem of someone, say, Dobyns, on the page with space in between each line, then you write your own poem between the lines, and when you're done remove the other poem.
I think this exercise might also advocate writing a part two of your own, a commentary or whatever on the part one created within the scaffolding. I'll try to find it and give you the page #.
Right now I'm off to see a movie.
Take care.
